Simulating Cosmic Reionization at Large Scales II: the 21-cm Emission Features and Statistical Signals
We present detailed predictions for the redshifted 21cm signal from the epoch of reionization. These predictions are obtained from radiative transfer calculations on the results of large scale (100/h Mpc), high dynamic range, cosmological simulations. We consider several scenarios for the reionization history, of both early and extended reionization. From the simulations we construct and analyz...
متن کاملPolarization Signals of the 21 cm Background from the Era of Reionization
While emission and absorption lines of the 21 cm spin-flip transition of neutral Hydrogen are intrinsically unpolarized, a magnetic field creates leftand right-handed polarized components through the Zeeman effect. Here we consider the resulting polarization of the redshifted 21 cm background from the intergalactic medium before reionization. The polarization is detectable in regions with a str...
متن کامل21-cm fluctuations from inhomogeneous X-ray heating before reionization
Many models of early structure formation predict a period of heating immediately preceding reionization, when X-rays raise the gas temperature above that of the cosmic microwave background. These X-rays are often assumed to heat the intergalactic medium (IGM) uniformly, but in reality will heat the gas more strongly closer to the sources. We develop a framework for calculating fluctuations in t...
متن کاملRedshift Space 21 Cm Power Spectra from Reionization
We construct a simple but self-consistent analytic ionization model for rapid exploration of 21cm power spectrum observables in redshift space. It is fully described by the average ionization fraction xe(z) and HII patch size R(z) and has the flexibility to accommodate various reionization scenarios. The model associates ionization regions with dark matter halos of the number density required t...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Non-Gaussianities in the 21 cm Background Anisotropies From the Era of Reionization
The brightness temperature fluctuations in the 21 cm background related to neutral Hydrogen distribution provide a probe of physics related to the era of reionization when the intergalactic medium changed from a completely neutral to a partially ionized one. We formulate statistics of 21 cm brightness temperature anisotropies in terms of the angular power spectrum, the bispectrum, and the trisp...
